why red bottoms are red.

so what's the story with christian louboutin's signature red sole? per shoerazzi.com, the red sole came about by accident:

louboutin was working on a shoe in his studio when he felt something was missing. louboutin then “realized that the black sole of the shoe was too dark.” a nearby assistant was painting her nails red with chanel when louboutin grabbed it, painted the shoes' sole red and voilà; the red sole was born.

there you have it.
